Laboratory Experiments in Wave-Structure Interaction

Online Seminar
September 30, 2020
12:30 - 13:30
Free Admission

Breakwaters protect port and harbor entrances to provide navigation safety and limit wave conditions at berths for safe cargo transfer operations. Effects of climate change such as sea level rise and increase in wave storminess are expected in the near future, and therefore research into breakwaters' hydraulic performance is essential. This seminar will present laboratory experiments carried out during this summer at the University of Porto, Portugal. A model, at a scale 1:35, was built and tested under a broad range of wave conditions for evaluating hydraulic stability and wave overtopping.
